# List J.Crew or J.Crew Factory categories

`GET /jcrew/categories`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/jcrew/categories`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Lists every category and subcategory from the storefront's own header navigation, flattened into department/section/category triples -- resolves the category-discovery gap jcrew-category's own category parameter otherwise leaves as "find one from a storefront URL". Each entry's category value is exactly what jcrew-category's own category parameter accepts. Filter to one department with department (e.g. women, men); omit for every department. Departments vary slightly by site (jcrew.com has an extra "home" department factory.jcrew.com doesn't) -- see the response's own departments field for the live list.
